Global Survey on Community Needs for the Living Heritage of Tai Chi[复制]

Dear Madam/Sir:

Hello! This survey aims to understand the experiences, practical needs, course preferences, and views on community inheritance of adults participating in Tai Chi in different countries and regions. The results will be used by the Tai Chi Professional Committee of the Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Association for the project “Research on the Practical Mechanism of Global Tai Chi Community Living Heritage” under the UNESCO Convention, and, with your corresponding authorization, will be used to compile a community needs consultation report. The questionnaire is expected to take about 5–8 minutes. The questionnaire does not collect names, telephone numbers, or precise location information; research results will be presented only in aggregated or de-identified form.
